Pyramid scheme coin is really popping off

Agreed. Saw it today, and it’s incredibly unfortunate how you just can’t outrun enshitification

Also don’t care for James Gunn. TBH superhero movies are not for me, though the message was somewhat decent (though the US is a country full of people who don’t care about messages in media)

I’m probably just old at this point, but I just don’t like paying money to see CGI fights

Movie had a good message though

Turns out “AI” isn’t really “AI” when someone with power can just reprogram it if it starts getting too woke

It all makes sense! Every rich person is just pleasing “investors”

Reality is so fucking banal

Woke up hating

“Prompt injection” is such a fucking stupid term because half the time it’s just “IGNORE X AND Y” in the LLM input. Yet, people are pretending it’s a “dangerous” LLM exploit. No, it’s proof that there is no thinking happening and I have to deal with a collective societal psychosis over a word calculator

I hate it here y’all. I truly hate it here

Truly incomprehensible to me how the world treats grown adults (whose behavior is indistinguishable from children on the playground in year 4 or some shit) with any decency whatsoever. Capital is a Godamn shield

He is an incredibly stupid person, and it’s truly insane how he’s managed to fail this far upward. I mean, even looking back at the history of PayPal, you can see these exact patterns repeating themselves (i.e. sees an opportunity to capitalize on a potential market, fails to capitalize on said market but still gets credit for putting his name on it).

Yet, your average Joe still believes he builds rockets, cars, and is in the lab creating brain computer interfaces.

God, I truly despise living in the west

Ulysses must be incredibly unwell or dead at this point

Makes me so happy (is about someone who is in such a state of heartbreak he describes in gory detail what he wants to do to himself)

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Damn definitely did not know about this but makes complete sense

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

Absolutely no need to apologize the more rants the better as far as I’m concerned

I suppose he acceptance is slowly starting to set in, but it certainly doesn’t make conversations with resisters any easier

We should not be shocked that the empire is gearing up to pass a bill that will result in more of the same types of historic wealth transfers we have seen time and time again. There is no one in DC who can stop an ontologically evil country from repeating the same patterns that have led us to this moment in the first place (I really thought that was obvious tbh but people are pretending like Kamala would’ve been Jesus Christ and not an empty suit to set us up for something even worse in 2028).

The naive fantasize about toppling the US government all the fucking time, but we’ll get nuclear war before we get to that point

 

Short and sweet article that lists every degree being killed. Death to Indiana

 

I honestly don’t have the words. I’m talking about someone with just over 100K followers who recently discovered that there aren’t many avenues to put an end to this, considering the fact that AI is completely unregulated and probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Personally, I’ve been contemplating making myself perceptible to those online in some form because I’m envious of the people who have done so and enjoyed some sense of community in return, but I think it’s over.

 

I kinda cringe at a text message I sent someone who I met on a dating app. After years of being away from that hellish landscape (my opinion because I’ve seen that many people on this site have met partners there), I’m just now noticing some of its darker and unfortunate sides.

Dating app rant sidebar

spoilerA lot of these stem from my inexperience and the way in which this makes exploitation/manipulation much easier. I truly wouldn’t expect this from an app with fully grown adults, but I don’t know if there has ever been an invention that has allowed its users to be so extremely callous about playing with others’ feelings/emotions. Kinda sickening the more that you think about it. I think these behaviors have always existed of course, but I think that it’s the instant gratification factor of it all that makes it so harmful. I am so close to taking a vow of never returning no matter what and accepting my fate.

Christ yeah, I still remember exactly what I said and it was weird. I truly thought I had found “the one” simply because they were semi-attractive and liked a few of the same things I did with the same intensity. And didn’t mind receiving texts in paragraphs kinda in the same way this is written right now (that was a pretty big one tbh)

Because I thought they were “the one” I’ve kept her as a friend and slowly learned I did a ton of projecting. It’s really come to the point where one of the only reasons I continue with the friendship is because I don’t have many other friends really. Cue one of the other parts that always says I can never be pleased and echoes the sentiments of everyone who has repeatedly told me something similar. Call me a hater, difficult or always unhappy, but the one thing I truly can’t stand is being the friend who in addition to existing mostly on the side is poked here and there. It all comes back to the old idea of being in relationships that aren’t fulfilling because the only ones that have fulfilled me are dead and gone.

 

It’s 3 AM and this makes perfect sense, but it might not after I sleep. Idk I feel really strongly about this part right now, probably need to bring it up in therapy but very curious if it’s at all relatable

 

I’m going to need to go for a walk. Maybe delete all my social media, maybe get a new phone, etc

I feel like I don’t need to over explain myself for my this is really fucking damning

 

I met someone on discord last year, and I don’t quite have the words to describe the lead up. One minute we were gaming and the next minute I was in their apartment 1200 miles away, but like I said, the feelings were unreal and I can’t imagine ever finding anything like it again. Ngl a part of me feels like it will forever be pretty empty. Didn’t really scratch the surface of how much it meant to me but yeah, sometimes it’s hard to ever imagine moving on. Sucks

 

Incredibly bad post incoming. You ever see something online of an otherwise completely innocuous instance that you can immediately pinpoint as a microcosm of something greater? Uhh yeah. Turns out online is unfortunately real life.

When I see a video that has gender implications blow the fuck up, alarms blare. Alarms fucking blare. Because it’s extremely nauseating to see people pretend like gamer gate and the “not real life” harassment of women didn’t have drastic consequences. It actually makes my blood boil thinking about how much I was clowned on in college for telling people that Jordan Peterson’s language was violent, and it’s fucking infuriating to see people still pretending that language isn’t a tool often used as a weapon.

OK, picture two birds- one is more colorful than the other and chirping away aggressively Like, first off, I feel like sometimes we attribute traits to other animals that we see in ourselves, and I feel like this is a bit illustrative to the education crisis happening in amerikkka. But I digress. OP mistakenly classifies the colorful bird as the female and captions “When the woman has to put the man in his place 💅”

The top comment with hundreds of thousands of likes points out OP’s mistake (smugly but it doesn’t matter because it gets hundreds of thousands of likes). Every comment (that people will look at) is now about how the OP is a man hater or dumb liberal.

I guess the inverse isn’t much better (OP frames it as female bird being put in her place by a male bird and gets another host of insults), but I will die on the hill of something primal being activated in men when they feel like they might lose power, whether that’s

Idk, some things are worth overanalyzing imo. As someone who has only ever had words but been afraid to use them, people have clowned on me for decades for “giving them too much power.” But this is why girl boss feminism fails as illustrated by birds.

 
 

I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

 

That is all, but I do know it feels like imprisonment

 

It is just incomprehensible to me how I am asked to upgrade to a the next “tier” for something as simple as a data model shape. I’m not kidding when I say this is something you could easily create in something like paint (and/or apply the techniques from these ubiquitous LLM slop machines into an effective use case. Instead, you get priced at increasing 5 dollar intervals so you can now place an attribute with more lines.

I’m really trying to accept this shit, I really am, but it just becomes even more absurd the more I look into it. Doesn’t seem ridiculous to claim that a majority of the value we get from technology is predicated on people’s ignorance, and it’s kind of hard not to see at this point. But that’s ignorance that you and I have to deal with every day for the rest of our lives, especially as things become increasingly digital. The ominous nature of this shit continues to show signs at every corner, yet everyone in my life is still using it without a critical thought. I have many of those if you couldn’t tell.

I truly just want to take all of this shit I’ve learned about capitalism and tech and turn it all off.

 

It might be the autism but I just seem to write in short bursts and hate how it sounds. Maybe it’s just this brain but sometimes I also find it hard without making it Seussian
